13 Ex-Trump Aides Back Kelly’s ‘Dictator’ Warning, Saying Trump Seeks ‘Absolute, Unchecked Power’
New York Times ^ | 10/25/2024 | Tim Balk

Posted on 10/25/2024 1:49:29 PM PDT by VanShuyten

“ Thirteen former Trump administration officials released an open letter on Friday amplifying warnings from John F. Kelly, Donald J. Trump’s longest-serving White House chief of staff, that the former president would rule like a dictator if he returned to office.”

…………….

“The letter, organized on Wednesday after Mr. Kelly’s comments were published in The Times on Tuesday, was signed by several outspoken Harris supporters, including two who gave speeches at the Democratic National Convention: Stephanie Grisham, a former Trump White House press secretary, and Olivia Troye, who was an adviser to Mr. Trump’s vice president, Mike Pence.

Other signers included Anthony Scaramucci, who had a memorable 10-day run as communications director in the Trump White House; Brooke Vosburgh Alexander, who was a top aide in the Commerce Department; Alyssa Farah Griffin, who served as Mr. Pence’s press secretary; Mark Harvey and Peter Jennison, who worked on the National Security Council; Sarah Matthews, a former deputy White House press secretary; and Robert Riley, who was the U.S. ambassador to Micronesia.

Three former Homeland Security Department officials also signed the letter: Kevin Carroll, Elizabeth Neumann and Sofia Kinzinger, who is married to former Representative Adam Kinzinger of Illinois, one of the most vocal Republican opponents of Mr. Trump after the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.

“For the good of our country, our democracy, and our Constitution, we are asking you to listen closely and carefully to General Kelly’s warning,” they wrote.”

That’s funny. That’s the same thing Obammie’s Jamaican ho is seeking. All out gun confiscation by her government and all foreigners given U.S. citizenship and U.S. voter registration whether they want it or not. Probably just a coincidence.

They’ve done played that card.

Where do they work and how would a DJT presidency affect their financial ambitions?

All whores.

Trump has a knack for hiring attractive or rich people—and he doesn’t think through what those traits might negatively mean.

“”was signed by several outspoken Harris supporters,””

Some interesting names there. Anyone can be bought EXCEPT our president Donald Trump....he doesn’t need the aggravation and all that goes with it. Arguments are futile with these kind of people. There’s nothing in it for Trump except caring about the country - not even a paycheck! We could all wish he would pace himself as he’s not indispensable...but I don’t think he’s ever slowed down for anything!

Well, whatever happened, Trump kept us out of war! Those neocons are probably just p*ssed that their future employment contracts have dried up.

…”Sofia Kinzinger, who is married to former Representative Adam Kinzinger of Illinois”…

It’s really really series when Sophia signs onto something.

Most of those people probably never had direct conversations with Trump - they are mostly a few tiers away from Trump
